Been doing tech since the Apple II days. Playing in the manufacturing space with EV's currently.

And yeah, I totally fail Leetcode interviews.

I had a job search as well and same. Previous slam dunks that stalled at final interviews with someone who had a higher recommendation.

Fortunately I have some unique skills that allowed me to land a gig.

Thanks, it's been tough on him. I'm glad we're able to support him through this, others are not as fortunate.

He's looking into pivots now and taking flight lessons.

It's brutal, my son with a CS degree hasn't been able to get to single live interview ina year. A couple of screens has been it. I've reached out to my network, and the reply is always we're not hiring any juniors.

I'm past mid life, but my fall back cars to my youth have been convertibles. The last round being SLK's.

A couple of places I used my real name since I had no issue, or invite contacts.

Anywhere where I think my opinions might affect my income I stay anonymous. My name combo is very unique, so anything I post would be related to me.

Honestly it's a small world and anything could be sourced, just making it less casual.

In my 60's now, in my late 20's due to a layoff I ended up taking a year long "Sabbatical".

It wasn't planned and I didn't have the finances setup but I made it work and spent my time doing volunteer work, some personal spiritual exploration and low cost travel.

Granted, single, no one needing me for anything, so your mileage may vary.

For me, best decision ever. I really enjoyed getting to point of not knowing what day it was.

I was interviewed by the Union Trib in the late 80's about home affordability.

Between the Sunshine Tax and thin strip of land that everyone wants to live in, and there is no solution to affordability. (Except the usual go So Cal go east until the price drops)

As other have said, PLM and CAD tools are very pricey.

Palantir is a recent hight water mark I've seen as well.

I was seeing the same with my Pixel Buds. I've started to give them a little extra nudge when I put them back in the case and that has seemed to eliminated the issue for me.

If you're "supposed to know", I would assume enough use to not need to brush up. Brushing up implies not used enough to keep in the mental model.
